✨ Abdominal lift & tuck ✨
This is one of my favorite tools to support labor progress, especially when baby needs a little extra help finding their best position. 💫
An abdominal lift and tuck can:
🤰 Encourage baby’s rotation and descent
🌀 Create more space in the pelvis
💪 Support stronger, more effective contractions
🌸 Reduce back pain during labor
When do we use it?
👉 During contractions, especially if labor is feeling long or contractions aren’t as productive as they could be.
👉 When baby is in a posterior (sunny-side-up) position or not engaging well.
👉 Anytime we want to help the uterus and pelvis work together more efficiently.
One of the things I love most: involving the partner. 💕
When your partner helps with abdominal lift & tucks, not only do you get extra hands-on support, but that touch and connection boosts oxytocin—the beautiful hormone that fuels labor and love.
Labor isn’t just physical, it’s emotional and hormonal too. Partner involvement makes it powerful. ✨
